Monica West
The breakout novel from "formidable talent" (Ann Patchett) Monica West, a heart-wrenching coming-of-age novel about a young woman who follows her missing older sister into a cult in a courageous attempt to set them both free.
One ordinary night, Ramona Oliver's older sister Maya disappeared without a trace.
Four years later, following an unlikely lead on her sister’s whereabouts, Ramona finds herself at The Way, the home of a mysterious all-female, Northern California religious community led by a charismatic guru named Shepherd. She immerses herself in life on the land, living and working alongside a community of women, including her sister. Soon, she uncovers unsettling questions about her family and becomes seduced by the utopia Shepherd promises. By the time Ramona realizes that this place isn’t what she thought it could be, she must save herself—and her sister—before it’s too late. But what if Maya is too far gone to be saved?
In exquisite, precise prose, Monica West takes readers from the claustrophobic apartment where the girls were both raised and neglected, to the bounty of an old farm that seems limitless in its freedoms and in its restrictions. Light the Way is about the longing for the perfect family, about hope and perseverance in the face of impossible odds, about the bravery that young women must harness over and over again, simply to survive this world.

Kritikerstimmen
"Light The Way is a force of a novel filled with compassion and corruption alike. The search for a sister gives way to understanding a family. What follows is unbridled self discovery, for better or for worse. I love the voice of this novel. West's storytelling has the hand of a surgeon and the heart of a big sister." —Kiley Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Such a Fun Age and Come and Get It
"Monica West is a storyteller of such compassion and grace and vitality—this novel is itself a light, luminous and full of warmth, unsparing in its examination of family." —Claire Lombardo, New York Times bestselling author of The Most Fun We Ever Had
"A stunning novel that pops with suspense, intensity and undeterred familial love. Monica West blesses us with a haunting page-turner and a masterclass on the beauty of first-person narratives. . . . . Light the Way is a gem." —Regina Porter, author of PEN/Hemingway finalist The Travelers
"A perfect blend of high stakes, inviting language, keenly rendered characters and a lot of heart. The book more much more than a touching story of a young woman on a mission to find and liberate her sister. It's a page-turning thriller about people being seduced into a world that promises them safety, but at a price. Read this book with a sibling." —De'Shawn Winslow, author of In West Mills and The Fervent Whites
